I've won a few quid on scratchcards a few years ago, stopped buying them after the novelty wore off.

I won a bottle of champagne in a prize draw and my Brother won an Epson Printer at a prize draw at
some photographic event at Earls Court.
 
I won a drawing competition at Wimpy as a kid and got a volleyball net for the garden with one of these bad boys 😎😎

I've won £10 on the postcode lottery a few times but am beginning to wonder if it's worth bothering. All it really means is you get your monthly ticket cost back. I know if I did cancel though i'd keep checking the results to see if we'd have won the big one! 😂
I’m the same. When I think how many years I’ve paid out for it- I wish I’d just put the tenner in a savings account each month. A few months ago I won £10 two months in a row but that is literally it.

I won £500 through my employers lottery scheme - I’d only started playing a few weeks before, so had only spent £10 on tickets in total! plus I was on extended mat leave at the time so not even at work 😂😂. A few weeks after that I won a GPS cat tracker in an Instagram competition!
 
Small amounts on scratchcards, a backstage pass, signed comic book. What I really want to know is someone who has won the gadget show comp,thats gotta be the dream.

I didn’t work for a year a while back due to my son being poorly, I spent an hour each evening entering comps. I won £5k and a 4 night holiday to Las Vegas with a meet and greet with Penn & Teller with itv. I won £2k Sainsbury’s vouchers and £10k sports equipment for a school of my choice. Tv’s washing machine, dryer vacuum cleaner, lots of household electricals. Loads of show tickets. A weekend in London for me and 9 friends with front row seats at London fashion week, I didn’t tell them it was through a gay magazine and we’d all be sharing double beds 🙈😂, I wone loads of books, toys, food, vouchers etc. Think I might start again 😂

Not really money but I’d definitely recommend anyone into competitions to check out bonkers competitions! My boyfriend bought some fireworks from their usual business and they’ve recently set up a raffle business. I bought a £1.99 ticket or something like that for an outdoor pizza oven and I won! I know it’s not mega but it’s something I wouldn’t buy and it will be lovely for the summer, he does quite a few and recently won 12 bottles of Prosecco too from a £2 ticket. Really worth a go and they deliver the prizes to you.
I follow the bonkers competition guys and they are a real laugh, never thought I'd win anything but after seeing your winnings on here signed up and only went and won a paid of Raybans! Thanks 😁

Had other winnings over the years, nothing major Kaiser Chief tickets, biking sunglasses, tshirt, fudge voucher, etc.

Pepsi ran a competition years back where you could win £500 pound every hour by putting in your code from your bottle and I actually won 😂

I also won some high tech computer mouse on the hotukdeals Christmas hunt a few years ago which I sold on eBay 😂

A few years ago I won tickets to see Kings of Leon at Hyde park too.

When I was about 9 or 10 yrs old, I was in school and it was around Easter time. The whole school had an Easter art competition. Someone from each class won & then there was an overall school winner. The prize was Easter eggs & the overall winner got lots of Easter eggs, like the big galaxy ones & lots of Cadbury ones...etc.
Anyways I won the overall art competition 😸 it was so cool! I am unfortunately type 1diabetic so that's a bit shite but still 🤷‍♀️🍫💉

Let’s hope I’ve won big, they always send this when you can’t even log in to check 😭🙄
I know it’ll probably be £1 but I can dream 😂

If we don't hear from you again, we'll assume you're somewhere exciting, drinking champagne! ;)

I won a car a few weeks ago. I was so, so excited! I opted for the cash equivalent though, as I'm very happy with my existing car. It's not a huge amount, but it was enough to send a few people three-month packages of readymade meals anonymously and put some money aside for a rainy day.
